White Plains CitizeNetReporter - Downtown Gala Sold Out. Dance, Ball & Fireworks "Beautiful"

Special to WPCNR: The New Year’s Eve Gala staged by the White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District was a complete sellout and success according to BID spokesperson Darlene Gardner Wednesday morning.

She reports 175 persons officially attended the dance, buffet, and ball drop celebration held underneath the “Big Top Tent” erected, complete with dancefloor, reception area and rest rooms on Mamaroneck Avenue Monday evening, enough, she said to cover the expenses of the event.

“It was like being at a wedding,” Ms. Gardner told WPCNR today. “You had a vestibule, a place to hang your coats, restrooms, but you’d look out the windows of the tent, and see you were on Mamaroneck Avenue.”

Ms. Gardner described the actual ball that was dropped from White Plains Fire Department’s largest Hook N Ladder as “a beautiful thing,” and said the fireworks launched from the Cappelli City Center were “a once-in-a-lifetime show.”

She said people called most of Monday, but the number of attendees were held at 175. She anticipates that the event will be staged again next year. Ms. Gardner said the avenue attracted a large crowd for the ball drop and fireworks by midnight and that it was well attended by city officials and dignitaries from City Hall and the community.
